20 Things Every Girl Will Remember From School Netball

4. There Was Always That One Team Who Were Clueless

If you had to pick your own teams, the girls that formed your opposition were always completely clueless, so the teacher had to sort out the teams to make them sort of equal.

This also applied to one team who entered the league because 'at least they were trying.' At least it was a laugh but it was rubbish if you wanted to play a decent game. Your teacher always said that it wasn't about the winning, it was the taking part that was important. But if you didn't want to win, why were they entering you into leagues and tournaments?
